We all used scientific methods to resolve daily issues that are based on analytical thinking. If you want to resolve a complex problem, break it to smaller pieces to gain simplicity, resolve the simple parts, and then you can resolve the complex issue. It wasn’t a long time ago when we (as humans) discovered non-deterministic sciences
Principle: Don’t simplify complexity, embrace and use it. Read More »
Good decisions are based on experience and knowledge. in a non-hierarchy working environment a group can make better decisions when they factor in the experience and knowledge, each participant has in fields relevant to the topic discussed. To be able to factor knowledge and experience in decision making, you need to define which fields are
Principle: Use merit (knowledge & experience) to resolve conflicts Read More »
Most of us are following the analytical approach when we face complex problems. “Analytical approach” is the use of an appropriate process to break a problem down into the smaller pieces necessary to solve it. Each piece becomes a smaller and easier problem to solve (http://www.thwink.org/sustain/articles/000_AnalyticalApproach/index.htm). While this method might be beneficial for specific scenarios,
Simplifying system’s problems increase the system complexity Read More »
As humans, we are often sure that we’re right and others are wrong. That’s because we all suffer from cognitive bias. At least two people got a Nobel prize for proving to the world that we jump to conclusions and act without thinking most of the time. We do it based on the subconscious. Thousands

If you spend well worth time using the tools of systems thinking to model any company, business or non-profit organization (with over ten people). You’ll find two main subsystems that compose the system you are analyzing. One subsystem is the management system, the variation of scientific management, administrative and bureaucratic management theories that still dominate
A company is two sub-systems competing against each other Read More »
